This week has been busy with just hanging out with friends and their kid, which became truly exhausting for me! A little late, but here is my round-up of interesting reads.
1. Dominos delivering to non-traditional locations doesn’t seem like a big news to me, because that was the norm in Korea for both big and small food chains.

As much as I love NYTimes’ list of key articles (morning/evening briefing) that I should pay attention to, I’ve noticed that I’m much more anxious and stressed when I read them during my commute. Instead, reading a book during my commute makes me more productive and energized.

2. Funny way of responding to the toilet seat battle.Read More »
“I have forgotten how to read” by Michael Harris touches upon how our reading behavior changed as we become more intimate with our smart phones. Below are my notes from this article.
To read was to shutter myself and, in so doing, discover a larger experience. I do think old, book-oriented styles of reading opened the world to me – by closing it. And new, screen-oriented styles of reading seem to have the opposite effect: They close the world to me, by opening it.
What a brilliant way to describe the impact of reading in our lives!Read More »
